E.11.DSG:4.6 - Distinguish expression, derivative, edition, and product

Another layout, carrier, rendering, or faithful expression of the same exact claims under the same scheme presents the same Reference episteme. A translation or other derivative that changes claims or effective scheme is a distinct episteme with an exact source-to-use path under C.2.P; when meanings cross schemes, test the F.9 Bridge and bounded use separately. Title or provenance alone establishes no EpistemeEditionRelation.

A language-specific derivative stays within the same Reference product only while it uses the same intended readers and use, access rule, warning rule, later-review rule, and retirement rule. A separately established maintenance relation changes product identity only when the identity rule says so. If a language community needs a different current state or any of those rules, select another Reference product. A multi-suite comparison publication also has another product identity.
